Driver matching at boot time

Title: Driver matching at boot time
I have a USB PC card which has multiple interfaces. My driver is a kext which loads and works perfectly if the PC card is inserted after the Powerbook is up and running. However, if I restart the Mac while the PC card is plugged in, during the restart my driver does not get loaded. Instead, the AppleUSBComposite driver is loaded. How can I prevent this from happening at boot time ? After the restart, if I pop the card out and re-insert it then I’m up and running (but this is a pain in the butt for end-users)... The codeless kext trick doesn’t work and, if it did, I’d be asking why my driver didn’t just get loaded in the first place ? My IOKitPersonalities entry is matching bcdDevice, idProduct and idVendor with IOProviderClass set to IOUSBDevice.

Any advice is welcome – I’d like to get my driver loading on restarts...

Alec
